Story
There are countless books on music with much analysis given to musicians, bands, eras and/or genres. But rarely does a book delve into what's going on inside us when we listen. Michel Faber explores two big questions: how we listen to music and why we listen to music. To answer these he considers biology, age, illness, the notion of 'cool', commerce, the dichotomy between 'good' and 'bad' taste and, through extensive interviews with musicians, unlocks some surprising answers.

An exploited child worker in the silver mines of Bolivia finds an ally – but at what cost? A young woman's affair has terrifying repercussions when her lover's wife dies. A sailor's wife takes her communion with Nature a little too far…From a hungry young woman who is not what she seems, to a boy who has taken his mother's advice a little too seriously; from disfigured girls willing to pay any price to fit in, to an immigrant who cannot escape his tormentor; from a new home with a sinister secret, this collection plumbs the depths of the psyche and dredges up some very modern horrors.

Story
Isserley spends most of her time driving. But why is she so interested in picking up hitchhikers? And why are they always male, well-built, and alone? An utterly unpredictable and macabre mystery, Michel Faber's debut is an outstanding piece of fiction that will stay with you long after you have finished listening.

Story
'I am with you always, even unto the end of the world . . .' Peter Leigh is a missionary called to go on the journey of a lifetime. Leaving behind his beloved wife, Bea, he boards a flight for a remote and unfamiliar land, a place where the locals are hungry for the teachings of the Bible - his 'book of strange new things'. It is a quest that will challenge Peter's beliefs, his understanding of the limits of the human body and, most of all, his love for Bea.

Story
It all starts on the morning the letter D disappears from the language. First, it vanishes from her parents' conversation at breakfast, then from the road signs outside. Soon the local dentist and the neighbour's Dalmatian are missing and even the Donkey Derby has been called off. Though she doesn't know why, Dhikilo is summoned to the home of her old history teacher Professor Dodderfield and his faithful Labrador, Nelly Robinson. And this is where our story begins.

Story
De 199 trin er, hvad der er, op til kirkegården på Whitby klostret i Yorkshire, hvor den 34-årige arkæolog Sian arbejder med udgravninger. Hun har længe været hjemsøgt af uhyggelige drømme, men her bliver det værre, og nat efter nat bliver hun i mareridt først forført og derefter myrdet. Da hun på kirkegården møder den smukke studerende Mack, som viser hende en 300 år gammel papirrulle, får hun endelig andre ting at tænke på: Den gådefulde tekst på rullen skal tydes, og den unge Macks interesse skal holdes fanget.

Ich bin bei dir alle Tage bis ans Ende der Welt. Der junge Pastor Peter Leigh wird auf die Reise seines Lebens geschickt - nur darf seine Frau Bea ihn nicht begleiten. Um in Kontakt zu bleiben, schicken sie sich Briefe. Doch nie zuvor in der Geschichte der Menschheit musste eine Liebe eine derart große Distanz überbrücken.

Story
Det verdensberømte a cappella-kor Courage-Ensemblet opholder sig i to uger på et belgisk landsted for at indøve et uhyre kompliceret og fysisk krævende klassisk avantgarde-stykke, Partium Mutante. Men lader stykket sig i det hele taget opføre? Spiller det nogen rolle at komponisten viser sig at være en ren galning? Kan ensemblets fem medlemmer styre deres indbyrdes seksuelle spændinger og vidt forskellige temperamenter? Og hvad er det for skingre skrig der lyder i skoven om natten.

Story
Gennem sprogforskeren Theo Griepenkerl genfortæller Faber den kendte oldgræske myte om Prometheus – guden som bragte menneskeheden ildens gave. Da Theo besøger et udplyndret museum i Irak på udkig efter glemte skatte han kan tage med sig hjem til Canada, finder han ni totusind år gamle papyrusruller. Han oversætter straks de aramæiske skrifter, som viser sig at være et femte evangelium skrevet af et øjenvidne til Jesu Kristis sidste dage på Jorden.

Story
"Kridhvid som Eminem" er Michel Fabers første novellesamling på dansk. Faber er ikke kun blevet rost for sin musikalske prosa og fremragende karaktertegning, men også for sin beherskelse af forskellige stilarter. Hans noveller spænder fra hjerteskærende triste eksistenser i "Herberget" til lykkelige øjeblikke i "Kridhvid som Eminem" eller nærmest bibelske uskyld og vildskab i "Fahrenheits tvillinger".

Story
I en bulet rød Toyota kører Isserly omkring i det skotske højland på udkig efter blaffere: velproportionerede hankønsvæsner. Der er noget bizart og dybt foruroligende på færde i denne Michel Fabers debutroman. Hvem er denne kvinde, Isserly, med ben som en attenårig og hænder som var hun fyrre? Hvorfor har hun store ar i ansigtet og så enormt tykke brilleglas? Hvad er det med dem, der arbejder på nabogården? Hvorfor er de alle bange for denne Amlis Wess? "Inderst inde" - du har aldrig læst noget lignende!

La lettera D sparisce improvvisamente una mattina, mentre Dhikilo sta facendo colazione con i suoi genitori. Svanisce prima dalla conversazione a tavola, poi dai cartelli stradali lungo la via per la scuola, e infine dalle chiacchiere con i compagni. Ben presto anche il dentista del paese e il dalmata del vicino scompaiono nel nulla, e persino l'annuale derby degli asini viene annullato. Senza sapere il perché, Dhikilo viene convocata a casa del suo vecchio insegnante di storia, il professor Dodderfield, che è cieco e vive solo, in compagnia del fedele cane guida Nelly Robinson.
